Gator RC 24mm Triangle Base Control Horn – Angled Nylon

In stock
SKU: GRC-CH-206
Regular price $4.25

A compact angled control horn with a wide 50×24mm triangle base, purpose-built for RC aircraft that need a stable, high-footprint mount without the added length of a larger horn. At just 6.9 grams, it delivers precise pushrod geometry and a rock-solid mount in a lightweight package.


Key features

  • 24mm angled control horn — compact length with angled geometry for precise off-axis pushrod alignment
  • Wide 50×24mm triangle base — distributes load across a large footprint for a stronger, more stable mount than standard rectangular bases
  • 2.8mm thread size — compatible with standard RC linkage hardware and clevises
  • Lightweight at 6.9 grams — minimal weight impact for the stability and strength it provides
  • Angled horn profile — reduces binding on off-axis pushrod runs for smoother, more consistent control response
  • Sold individually — order the exact quantity you need per build

Specifications

  • Horn length: 24mm
  • Horn thread size: 2.8mm
  • Base dimensions: 50 × 24mm (triangle)
  • Weight: 6.9 grams
  • Horn style: Angled
  • Application: Elevator, rudder, ailerons
  • SKU: GRC-CH-206
  • Sold as: 1 × control horn (each)

What's Included

  • 2 × triangle base plates — flat top plate and angled/curved bottom plate that sandwich the control surface for a secure, gap-free clamp mount
  • 1 × aluminum pivot post (main shaft) — silver cone-shaped piece that passes through the control surface and acts as the pivot point for the linkage arm
  • 1 × clevis / link arm — small black arm with hole at the end; connects to your pushrod or servo linkage
  • 4 × self-tapping mounting screws — secure both base plates directly to the control surface; no pre-drilling required on most foam and balsa surfaces
  • 1 × clevis pin bolt + nut — small screw and nut set that connects the clevis arm to the aluminum pivot post

Required to complete

  • Pushrod linkage (size dependent on setup)
  • Clevis or ball link compatible with 2.8mm thread
  • Mounting screws and backplate or reinforcement (airframe dependent)

Best for

  • Small to medium RC airplanes needing a wide-base, stable horn mount
  • Elevator, rudder, and aileron control surfaces
  • Sport, scale, and aerobatic aircraft
  • Builds where shorter horn length is preferred over the 34mm version
  • Applications where pushrod routing angle benefits from an angled horn profile

Installation notes

  • Confirm the angled horn profile suits your pushrod routing geometry before installing
  • Align the horn pivot point directly with the control surface hinge line for correct throw geometry
  • Use appropriate reinforcement or backplate on the control surface, especially on balsa or foam builds
  • Verify full linkage travel is free and unrestricted through the complete deflection range

Why choose a triangle base control horn?

Standard rectangular base control horns concentrate mounting load on two screw points. The triangle base spreads that load across a wider footprint with additional screw placement options, reducing the risk of pull-through on foam or balsa control surfaces and providing a more rigid, rattle-free installation over time. Combined with the angled horn profile, this is a purpose-built upgrade for builders who want clean geometry and long-term reliability.


Modeler's tip: If you need more throw or leverage on larger control surfaces, consider the Gator-RC 34mm triangle base angled horn (GRC-CH-213) — it shares the same 50×24mm base footprint but provides greater mechanical advantage for bigger aircraft. The 24mm version is the sweet spot for sport and mid-size scale builds.
